Started at 9:50 am. Perfect day. I felt like crap all day, almost turned around within the first few miles, I had nothing. Even though it was perfect temp day, the climb up the lower steep portion of Oak Springs Ranch Rd was very hot. Not much wind all day, just a little here and there. Light headwind on the way back. Turned out hunting season was on, bunch of fat, drunk idiots shooting rifles all over and driving around drunk. They crowded up Little Pine Flat and Big Pine Flat. One of them shot a deer and hung it up in a tree at Little Pine Flat. Some rangers and cops showed up at about 4pm.
Got to Snow Summit in Big Bear just after 2pm and left at 3pm. Back home about 5:45pm. |

Started with 100 oz Camelbak HAWG and 1 bottle on the bike. Filled up at Hanna Flat Campground on the way up. Ate 2 powerbars, a granola bar, and some peanut butter pretzels, a sodium pill, and a potassium pill during the ride. Did not ride at all the 2 days before this ride.
It takes about the same time, 1 hour in this case, each way from Big Pine Flat to Snow Summit and Snow Summit to Big Pine Flat. It's just over a 14 mile ride each way. There is about 1580 feet of climbing from Big Pine Flat to Snow Summit and 1420 feet in the reverse direction. Just over half of the miles are paved.
Did not use little ring. |
